The deadly mass shooting this month in Maine shone a spotlight on the small city of Lewiston.
Once again, like far too many American communities, the people of Lewiston face the challenge of trying to move forward after the loss of family members, friends and neighbors.

Mata-Rubio has decided to turn her anger and grief into action. She is running for mayor of Uvalde.
